Narrators

    Emmie Douglass 

Emmie Douglass

The primary narrator of Invisible Emmie and secondary narrator of Truly Tyler. Emmie is shy, quiet, and artistic, but as the series goes on she starts to come out of her shell a little more and more.

She's also the character the series is named after.


  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Emmie doesn't always speak up for herself, but when she does, she means it.
  • Character Development: Emmie is super shy in her first book, to the point she can't even ask the students standing by and blocking her locker to move or confess her crush on Tyler, and walking to class alone makes her stomach twisty; Joe's picking on her upsets her, but she never speaks up against it and only takes his insults and teasing. By the time of Truly Tyler, she's more confident and has made friends with Tyler and Sarah and—while she's still somewhat shy and nervous—when Joe tries to embarrass her about a theoretical love note, she stands up for herself and embarrasses him back—something very un-Emmie like.
  • Childhood Friends: With Brianna, who she's known since Brianna moved to town. In fact, Brianna is her childhood friend, Best Friend, and only friend until she starts to speak to Tyler and Sarah.
  • Hidden Depths: She is (in Jamie's words once she actually gets to know her) sweet, easygoing, and talkative. She can also be very stubborn.
  • Shrinking Violet: Emmie is so shy at first that she can’t even speak up enough to ask people to move more than an eighth of an inch so she can get to her locker. She remains shy, but slowly becomes more confident as she makes more friends than just her Best Friend (and Childhood Friend) Brianna.

    Izzy Silver (UNMARKED SPOILERS

Izzy Silver/Mrs. Davis

The primary narrator of Positively Izzy.

At the end of the book, it's revealed that Izzy's chapters are set in the past, and she has since grown up to be the new popular drama/eighth grade English teacher, Mrs. Davis—who's also the mother of the secondary protagonist, Brianna Davis.


  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Zig-Zagged. Technically, she’s not embarrassing her daughter Brianna in the typical way; instead, she is the Cool Teacher, and everyone loves her for being so creative and outgoing with her classes. But that’s the problem—Izzy is so fun and perky, and a lot of Bri’s classmates compare them to each other, knowing they're related. Imagine how embarrassing it must be when your peers think your mom is cooler than you.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Izzy is good at select subjects—art, writing, and drama—but bad in several others, including math.
  • Cool Teacher: She grows up to be this trope. She lets her English students perform literature instead of just reading it, and all the students love her. This, however, only serves to make the fact she's now her teaching at Brianna’s school even more awkward for Brianna, as everyone thinks Izzy is much cooler than her brainy daughter and constantly compare the two.
  • Disappeared Dad: Izzy's mom is a Struggling Single Mother trying to raise her three daughters alone and work as an ER nurse. There's no mention of Izzy's father or where he is until Brianna's epilogue, where she states that Izzy's older sister (her Aunt Danielle) has a son named after Brianna's late grandpa—Izzy's dad. This is later confirmed in Becoming Brianna.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She and her younger sister Ash are the foolish ones compared to their older sister Danielle.
  • Informed Judaism: It's not until her daughter's book, Becoming Brianna, that any mention of Izzy's Jewish bloodline, background, or being part of a temple is mentioned. Justified in that Positively Izzy only covers one day in her childhood (on the day of school talent show) and is set in the past. Details about her own bat mitzvah are revealed in Becoming Brianna, including that she was the first and only child in her immediate family to have one (the temple didn't allow girls to have a ceremony at her older sister Dani's age and her younger sister Ashley refused to).
  • Kid Hero All Grown-Up: Izzy's day is in the past and the present-day chapters show her as the cool new drama teacher, Mrs. D.
  • Little Big Brother: She and her younger sister Izzy are nearly the same height when children.
  • Only Known by Initials: She's only referred to as "Mrs. D." throughout Brianna's chapters so as to hide the fact she's Brianna Davis's mother.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: "Izzy" is not Izzy's real name or even related to her real name, which is never revealed. She got the nickname from her older sister Dani after repeating a knock-knock joke she made up when much younger, and her sisters and mother still call her this. She jokes that she doesn't even remember her own real name sometimes.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Her standard order at Taystee's is a chocolate chip ice cream on a sugar cone, despite her lactose intolerance.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: She's much more carefree and lighthearted than her straight-laced daughter Brianna. The students point this out after she starts teaching at the middle school, to Brianna's embarrassment.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's hard to explain why she's not shown as a middle school student anymore after Positively Izzy—or interacting with any other seventh grade students—without giving away the Twist Ending that she's Brianna's mother and her story is set over two decades ago. In Becoming Brianna, since this has already been revealed, there is no ambiguity in the story about her being Brianna's mother.

    Jamie Daniels 

Jamie Daniels

The primary narrator of Just Jamie. Previously only known as one of the two "Gossip Girls," Jamie is pushed out of the girl clique she's part of by her best friend Maya on Celia's orders. This sudden change in status and acceptance by others outside of the clique changes her mindset, and she eventually becomes part of Emmie's friend group.
  • A-Cup Angst: Jamie is not as developed yet as the other girls in her friend group. She started wearing a padded bra after Maya joked that Grace wore a dress better than her—until she ran out of laundry and couldn't wear one one day. Her so-called "friends" laughed and called her a deflated balloon.
  • Armor-Piercing Question: Jamie almost walks away after Celia tries to humiliate her at the pool but turns around and asks "Why do you care so much?" Celia already got Maya to push Jamie out of the group now and Celia should leave her alone, but hasn't. It gets Celia to dart her eyes towards Anthony, who has become closer friends with Jamie over the day—revealing why she cares, if only for a second.
  • Character Development: Goes from being a "gossip girl" only seen in the background talking about others in Invisible Emmie to becoming one of Emmie's friends over the course of Just Jamie. While she and Maya are still seen as such in Truly Tyler and Remarkable Ruby, these books are set before the events of Just Jamie.
  • Dumped via Text Message: Maya kicks her out of their friend group through text while they're in different classes on the last day of school.
  • Gossipy Hens: With Maya in the first two books. They're shown only as extras who gossip giddily in the background of the events of the previous books, including with Emmie's Author Avatar, popular girl Katie. She and Maya change their ways after becoming friends with the others.
  • Named in the Sequel: She isn't named until the events of her own book.

    Brianna Davis 

Brianna Davis

The secondary narrator of Positively Izzy and solo narrator of Becoming Brianna. She's first introduced as Emmie's super smart best friend in Invisible Emmie and excels at schoolwork, but not at acting or almost any public performance.
  • Book Smart: Brianna has been getting straights As and winning science fair and spelling bees since elementary school, and as of middle school is in all gifted classes. She even admits she is labeled as a "brain" by other students, including her best friend Emmie. However, she dislikes that her intelligence is the only thing that her peers define her by and she wants people to see beyond her perfect report card and math and science awards.
  • Childhood Friends: With Emmie, who she's known since she moved to town in kindergarten from Atlanta.
  • Dumb Blonde: Subverted. She’s brainy and blonde (well, ash blonde, but still technically blonde).
  • Embarrassing Relative Teacher: Her mother, Mrs. Davis, who's the new drama teacher.
  • Full-Name Ultimatum: Her mother Mrs. Davis uses her full name when she complains that it would be easier to drop out of the talent show: Brianna Patience Davis. It's often labeled with an aside arrow saying "really, parents?"
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Her younger aunt calls her "Bripee", a mix of her first and middle names.
  • Hidden Depths: Brianna is smart and bossy, but also kind of sarcastic. Jaime and Ruby both notice.
  • Informed Judaism: It's not until her own titled book, Becoming Brianna, that any mention of her Jewish bloodline or background is mentioned. Justified in that it's the first book that actually covers more than one day in her life.
  • Jewish and Nerdy: Becoming Brianna reveals that Brianna is Jewish through her mother's bloodline; the book is about her planning for her upcoming bat mitzvah that she agreed to for her mother's sake, and her Jewish name is Bina. She's very smart—see above under Book Smart—and into watching Doctor Who.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Pizza. Runner up: yogurt covered peanuts.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: Brianna is much more serious, studious, and down-to-earth than her creative, drama teacher mother Mrs. Davis. Formerly known as "Izzy" Silver.

    Tyler Ross 

Tyler Ross

The main narrator of Truly Tyler. Introduced in Invisible Emmie as her crush, he's a basketball player who also enjoys art and is one of the popular kids.


  • Hidden Depths: In Invisible Emmie Emmie initially thinks Tyler likely takes art because all the other electives he might have taken were full. After she's no longer too meek to talk to him, she learns that he's been drawing for years but sports have taken up most of his time; seventh grade is the first time he's been able to take art as an elective. By the events of Truly Tyler, they're comfortable enough around each other to collaborate on a comic together.
  • Lovable Jock: Tyler is kind to practically everyone.
  • Sports Dad: His father only asks Tyler and his older brother Zach about their basketball skills during his brief facetime calls.

    Ruby Donovan 

Ruby Donovan

The main narrator of Remarkably Ruby. Before her own book, she was merely a running gag: the student who was always dashing into the girl's bathroom with stomach troubles. In her books, she is shown to be an awkward, not very social, and often blunt poet who misses her former best friend Mia and how close they used to be.


  • Childhood Friends: With Mia until Mia pushed her away.
  • Embarrassing Nickname:
    • Until her book, Ruby was only been referred to by everyone as "Baked Bean Girl" after an incident of her rushing to the bathroom while announcing what had upset her stomach: baked beans. She states early in the book that she has stopped announcing her latest meals when doing so, but is still labeled with the nickname, often in memes when her public mistakes and klutziness are captured.
    • Her mom calls her Rubydoo, a nickname she's trying to outgrow. So does her dad, seen in the outtakes.
  • The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: With her older sister Mia. Ruby is tall, awkward, and nerdy, and has no friends in middle school. Mia finds her embarrassing and so has been avoiding her for years so that Ruby's social awkwardness doesn't rub off on her popularity.
  • Hidden Depths: Ruby is a one-note character in every book before her own, only seen as the girl dashing into the bathroom after stating what upset her stomach. But she's a skilled poet, and in Surprisingly Sarah comforts Sarah and helps her clean up when she's in the bathroom crying about Ben blowing her off at the dance (but not before being blunt about how Sarah's face looks puffy).
  • Huge Schoolgirl: Ruby is noticeably taller than most of those in her grade and even several in the grade above her and some of her teachers; she shot up in fourth grade and has been tall ever since. It comes with her own issues of Height Angst.
  • Named in the Sequel: She isn't named fully—or at all, instead always referred to as "Baked Beans Girl"—until the events of her own book.

    Sarah Reyes 

Sarah Reyes

Emmie's artistic friend, who enjoys her own style and thinks little about what other people may think of her. The two first become friends near the end of Invisible Emmie when Emmie starts to reach out to others. Sarah is also the main narrator of the seventh book, Surprisingly Sarah.


  • Disappeared Dad: Sarah's father, Brett, divorced her mom when Sarah was two years old. He lives with his new partner, Shelia, in California. Other than sending his ex and child money from his successful business—and Sarah a birthday card yearly—they hardly communicate.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In Invisible Emmie she's drawn somewhat slim and very light skinned. From Positively Izzy onward she's drawn with brown skin, properly reflecting her Hispanic heritage, and and more plump than Emmie.
  • Eccentric Artist: Sarah both is a talented artist and unique dresser, making her own clothes.
  • Eccentric Fashion Designer: Sarah likes to make her own, unique clothes that aren't like typical fashions. The same can be said of her mom, whom she shares the trait with.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Her mama calls her "Cachetona", which means "chubby cheeks" in Spanish.
  • Hidden Depths: For Jamie, who learns she is funny and inquisitive after spending Field Day with her and the others.
  • Nom de Mom: Sarah uses her mother's maiden name, Reyes, rather than her father Brett's (whose last name is unstated). This is because she barely knows her father, who divorced her mother when she was two and only sends her a card on her birthday, calls her once a year, and sends the family regular money.

    Anthony Randall 

Anthony Randall

Tyler's best friend and Brianna's initial crush. The primary narrator of Always Anthony.


Secondary Narrators

    Katie (UNMARKED SPOILERS

Katie

The secondary narrator of Invisible Emmie, who is pretty, popular, smart, and beloved with the perfect life. The Reveal at the end of explains that she's in fact a creation by Emmie to represent the girl she wished she could be.
  • The Ace: Katie is pretty, outgoing, popular, good at sports, gutsy, gets straight As in every class, and everybody loves her and makes way for her through the day. She also has rich, attentive, never-embarrassing parents who run a candy store to boot and always cook things she likes to eat. She's everything Emmie wishes she could be—because Emmie created her to be.
  • Author Avatar: In-Universe example. At the end of the book, it’s revealed that Katie isn’t real; she was created by Emmie to help her vent her frustrations at being quiet and shy. Katie is everything Emmie thinks would make her life better and does and says things Emmie is too shy to do and comforts her during hard times.
  • Class Princess: Katie is the most popular girl in school. Her many popular friends squeal when they see her in the halls and everybody wants to talk to her all the time and gives her leeway. She almost never makes mistakes in class, gets excellent grades, and is almost always surrounded by friends and admirers. Yet she still is nice and friendly to everyone, and stands up to jerks like Joe for picking on Emmie.
  • Daydream Surprise: After Emmie confesses to Brianna that she made up Katie to be the girl she wasn't, it becomes clear that all her and Katie's interactions over the course of the book were in fact Emmie's thinking about what she would do.
  • Dream Sue: For Emmie. Katie has everything Emmie doesn't: long straight pretty hair, allowed to wear makeup, skills in sport, and parents that pay attention to her and let her eat the kinds of foods Emmie's health-conscious mother forbids. She's popular and friends with practically everyone and skilled in every subject, and even when she makes mistakes everyone merely laughs them off. Tyler, Emmie's crush, even asks her out that day. Nothing goes wrong for Katie's entire day until Emmie stops being so shy and starts to let her go, and that's when she becomes more and more invisible herself.
  • Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": What Katie serves as for Emmie. She can do everything Emmie can't: She's pretty, popular, super smart, and athletic. She has wonderful parents that work in a candy shop (and of course let her taste all their new candy creations) and never embarrass her. She throws parties that are popular, plays volleyball skillfully, and people text her all day (on her new-style smartphone). She's best friends with the popular girls Jaime and Maya. She never truly embarrasses herself in any of classes, and everyone makes room for her including moving out from in front of her locker and accommodating her in class. She's basically everything Emmie is not. She's the exact opposite of Emmie in every way Emmie could probably think of, even down to small things like having straight hair nothing like Emmie's curls and constantly reapplying the lip gloss that Emmie's not allowed to wear.
  • No Full Name Given: In part because she's just a figment of Emmie's imagination.
  • Put on a Bus: After the first book, since she's not a real person—just an In-Universe Dream Sue Emmie invented to cope with her personal shyness and insecurity.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's practically impossible to explain why the so-called most popular girl in school isn't seen after Invisible Emmie without giving away the Twist Ending revealed in the last chapter: that she's completely made up by Emmie to be the person Emmie wishes she was.

    Maya Hilliard-Davidson 

Maya Hilliard-Davidson

The secondary narrator of Just Jamie, previously only known as one of the two "Gossip Girls." Maya wants to be part of the popular clique headed by Celia, and to remain in the group she's being asked to kick her long time best friend Jamie out.
  • Beta Bitch: Was this to Celia for the month before the last day of school. She giggled with Grace at Celia's put downs of Jamie, went along with a lot of what she said, and turned on her long-time best friend Jamie on Celia’s whims culminating in doing the dirty work of kicking Jamie out of the Girl Posse. It takes Celia almost humiliating Jamie at a pool party for Maya to realize that Celia is not the person she should be friends with and gets her to break away from her.
  • Character Development: Goes from being a "gossip girl" only seen in the background talking about others in Invisible Emmie to becoming one of Emmie's friends over the course of Just Jamie.
  • Childhood Friends: With Jamie and Grace.
  • Easily Forgiven: Averted. While Maya does come over to Jamie's to apologize soon after leaving the friend group (that Jamie was kicked out of) and ask for Jamie to be her friend again, Jamie doesn't immediately say they'll be friends again. She says she thinks she'll forgive her...eventually, but it'll take a while. By the finale of the book—set three months later, before the start of eighth grade—Maya and Jamie are close friends again. However, Jamie says that it was awkward at first and it took a lot of sleepovers, dance parties, and time together for forgiveness to happen—and Maya trying very hard to get back on Jamie's good side, and promising not to break her trust again.
  • Gossipy Hens: With Jamie in the first two books. The two were merely extras who gossiped giddily in the background. The two start to change their ways after becoming friends with the others. While they're still seen as such in Truly Tyler and Remarkable Ruby, these books are set before the events of Just Jamie.
  • Immaturity Insult: One of the reasons she gives to Jamie when kicking her out of their group is that she and the other girls "grew up" and Jamie didn't.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Maya feels awful after her text to kick Jamie out of the friend group. She has a panic attack right after, feels guilty the rest of the day every time she sees Jamie, and stands up—ineffectively—against Celia's repeated judgement of Jamie. It takes until the events at the pool for Maya to finally realize what she did and go to Jamie's house to try and make amends.
  • Named in the Sequel: She isn't named until the events of Just Jaime, since the story is told by both her and Jamie. Her last name (or part of it), Hillard, is mentioned once in Invisible Emmie in a side panel.
  • Regretful Traitor: Maya spends the entire afternoon regretting—without saying so—how she pushed Jamie away.
  • Tears of Remorse: When she's apologizing for what she's done to Jamie.

    Mia (UNMARKED SPOILERS

Mia Donovan

The secondary narrator of Remarkably Ruby. Popular with close friends and a boyfriend, she stopped being friends with Ruby years ago and doesn't want Ruby's embarrassing actions and awkwardness to ruin her chances at becoming Class President.

She is revealed near the end of the book to be Ruby's older sister by a year and a half.


  • Childhood Friends: With Ruby until she pushed Ruby away to avoid being embarrassed in school by Ruby's awkwardness.
  • The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: With Ruby. After Ruby got to middle school, Mia—who by then had become popular—started to ignore her, as she felt her sister was too embarrassing for her to be seen with and might affect her popularity.
  • Nervous Tics: Mia chews on her hair when she's upset or nervous.
  • No Full Name Given: Mia's full last name isn't stated anywhere in the main story; only Ruby's is briefly in her resignation speech when Mia gives shot-outs to her friends for putting up with her and Ruby for helping her write the speech. This is because saying her last name would reveal beforehand that she's Ruby's older sister. After the reveal that they're sisters, Mia's boyfriend Trevor performs a make-up poem to her that uses her last initial, D.

    Leo Catalino 

Leo Catalino

The secondary narrator of Surprisingly Sarah. Sarah's best friend since infancy, and close friends with her crush Ben. He lives next door to Sarah with his two dads and goes to a private middle school, Ellings Way.

Secondary and Background Characters

    Dev Devar 

Dev Devar

A smart student like Brianna who performs with her in the Talent Show.


    Joe Lungo 

Joe Lungo

A Class Clown who (initially) doesn't know when to quit.
  • Characterization Marches On: Joe starts out as nothing more than a Class Clown and bully who makes many people, especially Emmie, the target of his jokes; he even goes so far as to take a poem she wrote and try to embarrass her by reading it aloud to her crush and his best friend, Tyler. After Emmie's outburst at him in Truly Tyler and his subsequent Heel Realization, he apologizes to Emmie directly for how he's treated her and tries to make it up to her by sending her a private message on SnapGab showing how uncreative the people who insulted her in a meme were, finding out who did it, and making them take it down. The next time he's seen in Remarkably Ruby, he's seen apologizing to Ruby for hitting her with a spitball, and by Surprisingly Sarah while he's still a jokester, he's much less cruel.
  • Hidden Depths: Sarah states how Joe's dancing at the spring dance helped cheer her up and she wishes more people would realize he's a nice person under all the class clowning.

    Danielle Silver 

Danielle Silver

Izzy's responsible older sister, a sophomore in high school. And Brianna's Aunt Dani.
  • The Dutiful Daughter: Since their mother has to work odd shifts at the hospital, Dani takes on most of the cooking and cleaning
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She is the responsible elder sister to both her younger sisters Izzy and Ash; since they're the daughters of a single mother, Dani takes over tasks such as cooking dinner and straightening up the house. She also bosses Izzy and Ash around.

    Ashley Silver 

Ashley Silver

Izzy's younger sister who she's closer to, only fourteen months younger and in sixth grade. And Brianna's Aunt Ash.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest of the three girls.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She and her sister Izzy are the foolish ones compared to their older sister Danielle.
  • Queer Establishing Moment: Izzy knows that Ash sneaks out of the house often to go to her friend Meghan's house, where the two girls look at the dirty magazines that belong to Meghan's dad. Brianna reveals in the epilogue of Positively Izzy that that her mother's freewheeling younger sister has a female partner, Tina, and they have two kids together—without using Ashley's name. Her name is used in Becoming Brianna and You-niquely You.

    Celia 

Celia

The head of Maya and Jamie's girl posse, who judges others, talks about everyone, and manipulates almost everyone around her—and gets away with it.
  • Bitch Alert: Celia establishes herself not once, but twice, as the Alpha Bitch. In Jaime's first chapter she snarks at Jaime humming an Aladdin song by saying "What are you, eight?" and previously said that Jamie didn't have enough of a figure for the jeans she's trying on. In her first appearance in Maya's chapters—at school—she starts by asking Jamie if her new swimsuit is anything like her old blue one, then says that her blue swimsuit makes her look like Maya's 2 1/2 year old sister—but she's "just kidding." She then swiftly pivots to complimenting Mrs. D's necklace as she walks by—and waits until Mrs. D. walks away to say she actually thinks the necklace is hideous but she wants an A in English next year.
  • Evil Is Petty: In quite a few ways. In Just Jamie she bumps into Jamie while swimming at the pool and—deciding that Jamie must have done so on purpose—decides to retaliate by trying to loosen her swimsuit top so as to embarrass her publicly—because Jamie "knocked her off course" during the bubble race and caused her to lose her shirt. In Surprisingly Sarah she tries to make Tyler, her ex-boyfriend, jealous by dancing with another boy—but is then jealous herself seeing him having a good time with Emmie.
  • Foil: To Katie. Like Celia, Katie is pretty and popular—but Katie is also kind to everyone, well liked, and friendly, instead of gossiping meanly about other people and being falsely sweet. Too bad Katie isn't real.
  • Immaturity Insult: She calls Jamie's old swimsuit suitable for a two-year-old to her face, as well as calls her immature repeatedly.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: Jamie briefly has this for Celia when her shirt accidentally comes off during the bubble race and she's left hunched over in her bra. However, this is very short lived. As soon as Celia's shirt is back on and she's fixed her face, she shoots Jamie a dirty look and then waves to the crowd, getting claps where moments ago she was getting jeers. Celia then says to the students around her in a loud-enough-to-be-heard-by-Jamie voice that Jamie "made" bumping into her look like an accident, but she had to have done it on purpose—and that Jamie clearly has jealousy issues and should be more mature.
  • Toxic Friend Influence:
    • She spends the morning of Field Day pressuring Maya to kick Jaime out of their friend group—the one Jamie was part of before Celia ever came along. She tells Maya she's the only one trustworthy enough to do it, calls her the best, and then compliments Maya and treats her like her new best friend once Maya does it.
    • In Just Jamie she constantly teased Jamie about everything, called her immature, and—whenever Jaime got upset—told her to not be so sensitive about it. She does this to Maya for defending Jamie, and is later seen in passing saying it to Grace once Grace has been reduced to the clique's lowest member. She's seen in later books—which are actually set earlier—judging and talking horribly about nearly everyone around her. Jamie outright calls her toxic when she's complaining about her to Anthony.
    • In Truly Tyler Tyler reveals he and Celia dated for two weeks at the start of seventh grade. Celia pressured him into wearing light blue every day to match her eyes, help wash her volleyball, reply to her texts only in emoji, and give her half his fries at lunch. He refers to it as the longest two weeks of his life.

    Grace 

Grace

The fourth member of the Girl Posse with Jamie and Maya, who's always backing up what Celia does and says.
  • Beta Bitch: To Celia. She's constantly getting gossip that she brings back to the group, and always giggling at everything Celia says about other people. After Jaime is kicked out and Maya realizes how badly she treated Jaime, she's the only one left from before that's still friends with Celia.
  • Butt-Monkey: Once Jaime—and Maya—leave the group, she's the one to take the brunt of Celia's nasty words and becomes the picked on one of the new group with Celia and Lindsey. This was seen earlier, when Celia snapped at Grace for daring to "walk" the same way as her.
  • Giggling Villain: She's often seen giggling in response to Celia's insults and snide talking. The one time she doesn't giggle is when Maya ends her friendship with her and Celia after Celia's attempt to embarrass Jamie for the last time.

    Lindsey Donsky 

Lindsey Donskey

A seventh grader known for her overpowering pine-scented body spray.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: In Invisible Emmie, where she sits in front of Emmie because of last name alphabetical order; they've only exchanged about six words total.
  • Girl Posse: Joins up with Celia and Grace to form one once Jaime and Maya are no longer part of the group. She was part of the group before then, but not part of the inner circle.
  • Running Gag: Everyone talks about her overpowering use of pine body sprays. She's often said to smell like a Christmas tree.

    Juan Alvarez 

Juan Alvarez

An eighth grader who joins Ruby's poetry club and becomes her friend. He's a skilled guitar player.
  • Queer Establishing Moment: Juan performs a tender, crooning love song about a feather just out of his reach. Afterwards, he reveals to Ruby in a moment of trust just who he sang about—another boy in the talent show who is performing on saxophone. They're later seen talking to each other in the hallway.

    Trevor Enders 

Trevor Enders

Mia's boyfriend.

    Josh Bentz 

Josh Bentz

Mia's competition for class president.

    Keya Devar

Dev Devar's older sister and Mia's best friend.


  • Early-Bird Cameo: Dev introduces his parents and older sister Keya to Brianna in Positively Izzy. Keya becomes a major secondary character in Remarkably Ruby as one of Mia's two best friends.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After seeing how obsessed Mia is being about the class president election—her desire to do everything perfectly, the way she only talks about it, beliving rumors about her opponent Josh Bentz—Keya pulls Mia into a dressing room at a resale shop and privately calls her out over it—and how she's been treating Ruby as an embarassment. Mia doesn't take it well.

    Gabi Mills 

Gabi Mills

One of Mia's two best friends.

    Ben Friedman 

Ben Friedman

Ben's best friend since childhood and Sarah's crush.


  • Childhood Friends: With Leo—until his bad attitude and lack of interests outside of gaming make Leo want ot end the friendship.
